Gerardo Martino linked with Tigres managerial job
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Gerardo Martino's name still sparks rejection among Mexican fans due to his poor performance with the Mexican national team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he failed to advance beyond the group stage. In recent days, international media reported that Martino rejected an offer from Boca Juniors and was linked to Tigres de la UANL, despite Guido Pizarro currently being in charge of the team. However, Carlos Ponce de León clarified: "The only certainty: Guido Pizarro is and will continue to be the team's coach next season." Guido took over as technical director after retiring as a player following a match against Necaxa, and although he led the team to two semifinals — one in Liga MX and another in the Concacaf Champions Cup — his playing style did not fully convince. Will Martino be the option to replace Pizarro? 📸 Carmen Mandato - 2024 Getty Images

Yankees Eyeing Right-Handed Bat, but Won't Touch This All-Star Third Baseman
Despite an obvious hole at third base and a stated need for more right-handed power, the New York Yankees have no interest in Cardinals star Nolan Arenado, according to a new report from SNY's Andy Martino. That's not a misprint. Zero interest. Advertisement Martino writes that 'the next time the Yankees are interested will be the first time' when it comes to Arenado. Instead, the team's top trade priority remains adding a right-handed bat regardless of position. Their goal is to give manager Aaron Boone better late-game options against tough left-handed relievers, Martino reports, especially in matchups where Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza might be exposed. The front office made a minor move in that direction Thursday, claiming right-handed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from Atlanta. De La Cruz was sent to Triple-A but now sits on the 40-man roster and could be called upon if needed. St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado hits a solo walk-off home run against the Milwaukee Brewers during the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on April 26, 2025.© Jeff Curry-Imagn Images Still, that is obviously not the answer. Advertisement New York continues to monitor the market, not just for bats but also for pitching, though options are fading. Martino notes that earlier targets like Dylan Cease, Michael King, and Sandy Alcantara are no longer realistic. The Padres are back in playoff contention, while Alcantara, recovering from Tommy John, has struggled badly with an 8.31 ERA. So while fans might dream about a Gold Glove upgrade at third, the Yankees are thinking differently. They want flexibility, not flash. They always have, and Arenado has never been on their radar. To be fair, Martino has said this before and it makes sense. The Yankees have seen what has happened to aging infielders like DJ LeMahieu and Anthony Rizzo and aren't in a hurry to get caught with another. But, perhaps if the Atlanta Braves continue to struggle, the Yankees could upgrade at this base with Austin Riley. Advertisement The Yankees' midseason shopping list is growing, but it's more focused. A power righty bat remains atop the list, but just don't expect it to come with Arenado's name attached.

NJ workplace fatalities are declining, but these jobs remain most dangerous
Injuries and fatalities on the job are largely decreasing in New Jersey, federal and state data shows, though some jobs remain more dangerous than others. New Jersey had 83 deaths on the job in 2023, according to the most recent numbers available from the New Jersey Department of Health. Most of the workplace deaths in New Jersey that year were among white adult men under the age of 54, said the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hispanic and Latino men also made up a sizable chunk of worker deaths in 2023. Construction had 18 fatalities that year, federal data shows. While most of the overall worker deaths were white male adults, Rutgers labor professor Carmen Martino said that in construction, more of the deaths were Hispanic transportation sector and workers involved in moving material had 19 deaths, with drivers accounting for 11 of those fatalities, federal data shows. Warehouses were particularly dangerous, Martino said, because of falls, as well as items falling onto workers from high shelves. In state health data over the most recent available five-year period, from 2019 to 2023, waste management and grounds maintenance saw significant fatalities, with 61 deaths. Workers handling repairs, maintenance and installations also suffered high rates of deaths on the job, with 44 between 2019 and 2023, data shows. Retail workers were also at risk of death or injuries, Martino said, because of retail thefts involving assaults on store employees. Some causes of death on the job were most prevalent in 2023. Roadway incidents such as vehicles colliding with each other or striking an object or pedestrian accounted for 17 deaths. Falls, slips and trips accounted for 19 deaths, primarily falling from a higher level to a lower level. Exposure to harmful substances caused 19 deaths that year, federal data shows. Contact incidents, such as being struck by a powered instrument or falling object, accounted for 13 deaths. Safety: NJ hospital safety grades are in. See how yours did 'The employer's response to fatalities is always something like 'it's human error that causes these fatalities,' but that's never the case,' said Martino, the Rutgers professor. 'There are always systems that failed. We call them systems of safety in the workplace." 'There's always system failures whenever we find fatalities,' he said. Louis Kimmel, executive director of the workers' rights group New Labor, said fatalities may not get counted as having taken place in the workplace, such as a chronic disease developed as a result of workplace exposure to chemicals or toxins. Other instances are gray areas, such as in 2022 when a van carrying several temporary workers from a job site crashed in Englewood Cliffs, killing four and injuring eight. The workers were being transported from upstate New York to New York City, media reports said, but passed through New Jersey. The surviving families allege that the workers were required to use the company-provided van, which crashed. 'They weren't technically at the work site,' Kimmel said. Labor advocates worry about how federal agencies designed to protect worker safety, wage laws and workplace discrimination will fare under President Donald Trump and an administration that has already moved aggressively to cut staffing at major agencies across the federal government. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, monitors workplace safety; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission handles workplace discrimination laws; the Labor Department monitors wage and hour laws; and the National Labor Relations Board monitors workplace union laws. Recall: GM recalls nearly 600K vehicles over risk of engine failure: See list of truck, SUV models Advocates are suggesting that states will have to step up their enforcement of across-the-board worker rights in the event of a federal vacuum. Whether cuts to OSHA, such as staffing and field office locations, caused any changes to the levels of workplace fatalities would take years to determine, said Martino, the Rutgers professor. The 2024 workplace fatality statistics are not slated to be released until November. Numbers for workplace fatalities in 2025 would not be released until late in 2026. 'I'm very concerned about what things are going to look like over the next couple of years … if there is less OSHA enforcement,' Martino said.
